In Ronnie's original post he says he bought new wires, 7 mm, and they are arcing. Why would new wires be leaking spark?
I purchased a set from the same supplier, 8 cyl, 7 mm, cloth covered, and am using them for two four cylinder engines now I question if they are good to use? I need 7mm to fit the caps without alteration, the oak tracer is pretty to look at but black would be fine, too.
Thanks, Gary

We have a musical family in our group. In a 1914 Ford they whole family sings songs as they motor along, they learned the lyrics from a large collection of 78's and wax cylinders. They are very good, the daughter attended University in a music program and has since joined an opera. It was a wonderful experience and live music is the best, one evening, sitting a veranda beside a lake, she wowed us with an aria in Italian.
Sorry, I do not know how to get music in your car. This posting reminded me of the Doddington family and I wanted to share.

Thanks for the heads up concerning pre war events in Ontario, I seem to be out of the loop. There is no HASC in my town though I perhaps should join the local A4C's which has a chapter here. I am in a local unaffiliated club but they do not do much anymore with pre war cars. Maybe I should join your region of the AACA just to get the newsletter.
Bev and I are looking forward to the Vintage Tour this summer and if you can find a job for us we are willing to help out.
Thanks, Gary

Thank you for the report and photos. I hang out on the Buick forums though this DB thread gets my attention, you DB fellows always have interesting cars, problems and camaraderie. If I could ever find a Victory Six roadster my heart would sing, lovely looking cars.

I am a member of Snappers as well. I think 28 Pontiac is looking for single day car shows where he can sit in a lawn chair behind his 20's car and interact with like minded owners and the public. I'm with you, Tom, these cars are total enjoyment on the road rumbling along with friends. Other than what has been talked about I do not know of any stationary shows and Mr 28 Pontiac will be disappointed.

I nearly forgot, what about Auburn, In in the spring. Certainly a wonderful show where you could have the Pontiac judged or display only. A great reason too belong to the AACA, too

I do not mean to rain on your car show except to say I feel you have the wrong car. I saw you at the Windsor cruise night last August ( I drove my '39 Buick Century about an hour to be there) and were there any other cars like yours, which were not hot rods?
The kind of car show you are looking for was common 30 years ago, lucky for you there is the Old Car Festival and Gilmore Pre War days near where you live. My wife and I attended both with our 1913 Buick and those shows come closest to your desires in todays environment.
Our cars are for touring with our car friends, at 30 MPH, we have car shows nearby but we rarely go. The few we do, I win an award, let dads take kids pictures in the car, teach kids to squeeze the bulb horn to make a squawk, stop for ice cream on the drive home. Its a good day because we make it one.
I sold a '29 Chevrolet recently to a fellow who was in a group of 6 friends who drive twenties car for enjoyment. Hopefully you can find or invent your own club and travel together to car shows in twenties cars too.

In a related matter, I have a car for sale on these forums. I have received three phone text messages from a different numbers each time with the exact same words " still available, Call me". I did not respond, has to be a scam just don't know how or why?

I am missing a couple of hood clamps as pictured to complete the restoration of a 1915 McLaughlin ( Canadian Buick) model 25. I would accept two which are similar or even a set of four of the correct size. Overall 4 1/2" long and 1/2" barrel diameter, hooks unscrew and are nickel plated. Anything, check your spare parts please?
Regards, Gary

For taillamp Tuesday I cannot wait, it is raining cats and dogs in Southern Ontario, the remnants of Hurricane Florence. I've painted the rear parts for my 1915 McLaughlin touring car and this is the first fitting. Next my local shoemaker will duplicate the leather belts and the paint will get polished this winter. The front fenders are in final epoxy primer and the headlamp rims are still at the platers. So far I've painted everything in my home workshop, not the best painter except to say I have time to work out the details and I make up for my failings by employing the best tools and materials available.
